Great thread....and good on ya, Scott - and all others who take care of those...who take care of you.

Most projects involve a whole lot of minutia and it really does take someone who is conscientious to attend to all the details so the owner gets the best that is possible.....not just someone going through the motions.

I always keep a bunch of Gatorade in my mini-fridge in the garage and hand them out (when I happen to be here) and am visited by the folks doing their routine...reading water or gas meter...delivering mail or parcels...picking up the garbage/recyclables...or maybe someone just working next door...and of course on the very small occasions when someone is doing work here.

Usually it's when I'm at a nursery or tree farm and get help loading some of the bigger stuff up when I have an opportunity to flip the guys some dough. It really does mean a lot to me when I get help with stuff.....outta be recognized somehow....
